I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I’m sure this four hour Defunctland video essay will fix me.

I couldn’t find a mini GM screen to suit my purposes, so I made my own! Plastic card holders and duct tape (plus some MTG tokens for player-facing art). It folds up super tiny!

Badlands ripped so hard. Completely different vibe than Prey, but some of the most fun sci-fi action I’ve seen in years.

Loved Predator: Badlands! And it was very Ironsworn: Starforged. The plot even hinges on a sworn vow. In this thread, let's take a look at Starforged assets for the main characters: Dek and Thia. We'll show them at the start of their respective journeys, and at the end of the movie.

Spoilers ahead!

No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either.

If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.

Ball X Pit is so good it managed to pull my attention away from Hades 2.

Most Apparatus were forged during the Hive War a millennium ago. Generation after generation, countless Knights piloted them into countless battlefield.

But they were never meant to be weapons in people's conflict. Once, their purpose was to guard this shattered world.

BTW, I’ve completely lost access to my FB account and I think it might be hidden now? In any case, I’m not mad about it and have been looking for an excuse to never see that place again—but if you’re someone I used to chat with on Messenger, feel free to hmu here!

Been watching a bunch of movies.

Furiosa: Not Fury Road—thankfully not trying to be.

Superman: Nicely paced, smart, funny, joyful.

Killer of Killers: Dan Trachtenberg continues to cook.

Sting: One big spider isn’t very scary.

Infested: Lots of small spiders is pretty scary.
